Hello everybody. I am new to game development and would like to know if unreal engine 4 can do vertical 2D (like undertale)?
Unreal is a beefy engine and commonly used for 3D. Yes, it does allow 2D games and you can check out the flappy bird demo project that epic provides.
You can totally make a 2D game like undertale, though you should look towards the path of least resistance. Unreal was 3D first, and then epic added 2D.
You have your choice of c++ or blueprints to make any kind of game. If it’s all new then the difficulty is the same regardless of engine. And if that’s the case and if you want to make 2D games only, I’d say go with a 2D engine and get good with that one.
